Hi all,
A quick question. Many people consider the Celica a girl car... Is the following one? 1997, Toyota, Celica, ST204R SX, Liftback, 5 Seats Manual and Black. Some photos can be seen here: http://www.pickles.com.au/damaged/vehicle/...2055703/lotid-0 Some enlightenment, comments, arguments and persuasion would be helpful. I'm a 20yr guy and not so into cars. I like the colour but just the stereotype I'm afraid of. Help me out people. Ty. |

hummm... Most of us conciter our cars girls, and refer to them as such. However, most of us here are also guys. During 94-99 the demographic showed that prodomately women purchased the 6th gens, however, today, it's mostly guys that own them. It may be due to the fact that they are super reliable and easy to upgrade. Plus they just look freakin awesome
 But if you want something that looks more "manly" then go buy a mustang and blend in with the croud

its not a girl car. its a car, stereotypes are bad.
D-Man, watch out. Ive seen a lot of mustangs not being driven by men. so, it really does not matter. As long as there are no pink pinstripes or tweety floormats you may be allright -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Playr Drives a GIRL car njccmd2002; i feel like my celi is a girl, and alot of people will look at photoshoot and say something like "man, she looks nice" and ect. But I see what you're saying about it dosen't MAKE it a girl car. I personaly feel like my car is a chick... But maybe it's just because i feel comfortable inside them.... Inside "celicas"  But you can totaly make a manly build out of a celi

Just because most of the people on this forum are guys doesn't mean the majority of 6th gen owners aren't still female. It just means all the guys who own then are more likely to look for aftermarket products and do-it-yourself help that you might get on a forum. Most of the women who own them just drive them.

yup, without a doubt, the celica as we know it (the USDM versions) is a "girl car"
the four on the other hand IMO is much more "manly" -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Theres a difference between a car that's considered a girl and a "girls car"...IMO, I consider my car a girl, but not a girls car. These cars have soo much potential to look b/a.

It's all a matter of how comfortable you are with your sexuality. For example, (even though I'm a chick) I can look at a lot of these guys and say, Hey, these guys must be really comfortable with their masculinity since they drive a chick car"
